Building Community as a Culture with Sara Kyle, Ph.D. & Kelly Stranburg, M.Ed. Principles at LE3 Solutions

When families and caregivers are searching for the "right" community for their loved ones, the activity and life engagement program is one of the most important factors in that search. How will mom or dad be able to live out their joys and interests? Are they building community and fostering growth in relationships wherever they live? How is the community building relationships to better engage residents and provide care?

In the last year we've seen how imperative a vibrant life enrichment program is, but most importantly how vital connection, community and relationships are.

These two women are deeply passionate, have extensive experience, and carry the belief that engagement matters for our older adults.

Sara and Kelly offer insight into:

• How can families determine their loved ones life enrichment needs? Why is that important?
• What should families look for in a valuable life enrichment/engagement program when choosing a senior living community? What does a great life engagement program look like?
• If they have their loved one in a community and they want to see change in the program, how would you suggest they go about that?
• Where has the profession been and where is it going?
• What role should executives and other departments play in a life engagement?
• Where can life enrichment professionals go to find helpful information?
• What language have we used to describe life enrichment and what do you recommend we use now?
• What encouragement can you give families, Life enrichment professionals and the senior community on the future landscape of life engagement for older adults?

They offer customized mentorship and consulting for life engagement professionals, senior living communities, and businesses. LE3 provides resources, tools, and content for all things life engagement!
